2140, NSW 2141, NSW

Postcode 2141 and postcode 2140 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and social profiles. Postcode 2140 is far more academic and transient, with 49.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 65.5% of people moving in the last five years. In contrast, postcode 2141 has a more established feel, with a far higher share of separate houses (44.5% compared to 9.1%) and a much larger proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms (56.0% versus 24.4%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have often widened, particularly in education, renting and the number of people moving in. Despite this, they share several core traits, including very similar proportions of children under 15 and nearly identical typical weekly rents, which sit around $450 to $468. Both areas are also heavily shaped by migration, with a huge majority of residents born overseas and most households using a language other than English at home.
